The broken laptop I sold on ebay

Lustige Geschichte um einen Betrug by ebay.

Hello. My name is Amir Massoud Tofangsazan and I live in Barnet. ... On 29th November 2005 I sold a laptop on eBay. ... Although the buyer paid the £375 total within a few days, it took me nearly two months before I bothered to post the laptop. What the buyer didn’t know was that it differed slightly from its description on ebay. Rather than having 2Gb of RAM, it only had 512Mb. It also didnt have a DVD-RW as described. Perhaps most importantly of all, the laptop didn’t actually work! Haha, genius! Selling a “working” laptop that doesn’t work!

Es folgt ein Lehrstück, warum man die Festplatte eines verkauften Computers immer sorgfältig formatieren sollte:

Despite polite requests from the seller, I denied anything was wrong and refused to refund his money, then I agreed to but of course didn’t. Then I claimed to have moved to Dubai and hoped he’d forget about it. But he didn’t forget about it. He took the hard disk out and behold! one laptop crammed with pictures that I really should have deleted before trying to sell it!

Dass man mit jemandem, dessen Feedback zu 75% negativ ist, vielleicht besser überhaupt keine Geschäfte machen sollte, steht auf einem anderen Blatt.
